You do know that the difference between 4x4 and Kentsfield is much, much, much more than the chip packaging, correct? Also, 4x4 is a dual socket model. You can't compare them like that.

I don't get what the last comment is for. The article said Nehalem will support up to 16 threads via hardware, ie it will have 8 cores. We already know the 4 core version will do 8 threads.
